About Arras
Arras, in northern France, is known for two grand arcaded squares of Flemish-style gabled houses, a tall belfry and its First World War history.
Arras sits in the chalk country of Artois, in northern France, and has been a centre of trade and cloth since the Middle Ages, when its woven hangings were so celebrated that the word arras came to mean a wall hanging in English. The Grand'Place and the Place des Héros, two linked squares, are lined with arcades and tall gabled houses in the Flemish Baroque style, rebuilt faithfully after the First World War.
Top-ranked sights in Arras: Wellington Quarry (Carrière Wellington).
